Let's divide 479887 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 479887.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 17

Step 2:
17 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 34 from 47 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 17

Step 3:
139 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 136 from 139 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 38 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 282.0
Subtracting 34 from 38 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 17

Step 5:
The number 17 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2822.0
Subtract 34 from 48 to get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 17

Step 6:
17 goes into 147 8 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28228.0
Subtracting 136 from 147 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28228.6
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28228.64
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28228.647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 28228.647
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28228.64705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28228.647058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28228.6470588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 28228.6470588 and a remainder of 4e-08.
